Fabrication of graded SiC/Al and G/Al composites for use in the first wall of a controlled thermonuclear reactor

Patent Divecha, A.P.; Hunter, P.

A first wall of a controlled thermonuclear reactor is made of a graded silicon carbide/aluminum composite material that may be fabricated by the plasma spraying of a composite of aluminum matrix containing SiC fibers or a graphite/aluminum composite material. In an alternative method of manufacture, dry Al powder is mixed with silicon carbide or graphite fiber, cold pressing, heating, hot pressing in molten or semi-molten state by extrusion of the Al-SiC composite, having an aluminum matrix containing SiC or graphite in a graded stratum, with one face of the wall consisting of essentially pure Al and SiC gradually increasing inmore »« less
First wall and blanket design for a high wall loading compact tokamak power reactor

Conference Sviatoslavsky, I.N.; Abdel-Khalik, S.I.; Corradini, M.L.; ... - Fusion Technol.; (United States)

Among the specific limitations which tend to complicate a compact high wall loading (HWL) tokamak reactor design are high surface and nuclear heating, compactness leading to crowded components, unlikely breeding on the inboard side and frequent first wall/blanket replacement. This paper describes the mechanical, thermal hydraulic and tritium aspects of an improved blanket design for a high ..beta.. (20%), high wall loading (R 10 MW/m/sup 2/) compact fusion power reactor of 1000 MW /sub th/ power output.
Minimization of the tritium content within the first wall of a Tokamak reactor

Journal Article Nicolai, A.; Borner, P. - Fusion Technol.; (United States)

The main objective of this numerical study is to investigate how to minimize the tritium content in the first wall of a tokamak reactor. Mainly pulsed tokamak operation with 100-s cycle durations, 75-s duty times, and outgassing phases with durations tau/sub g/ between 500 and 3000 s in envisaged. These outgassing phases are started after every N/sub rho/ cycle (20 < N/sub rho/ <70). For modeling, a multicode is applied that describes the surface and volume processes determining the tritium inventory in and the permeation through the first wall, the neutral gas background due to the recycling of the plasma,more »« less
Thermohydraulic and mechanical design assessment of tube-panel first wall for tokamak fusion power reactor

Journal Article Minato, A.; Miya, K.; Tone, T.; ... - J. Fusion Energy; (United States)

A first wall structural concept cooled by high temperature and pressurized water has been proposed for the Tokamak Fusion Power Reactor (SPTR-P). Among a number of candidate design concepts, a tube-panel structure was selected for the first wall design. Stainless steel serves as the first wall structural material. The first wall is separated from the blanket wall and has a circular cross-section coolant channel since this shape is the most desirable for resisting the mechanical load due to the pressurized cooling water. Feasibility of the thermohydraulic and mechanical design has been established by analyses under steady-state operating conditions. The effectmore »« less

Multicode describing the time evolution of the atomic protium, deuterium, and tritium densities in the first wall of a tokamak reactor

Journal Article Nicolai, A.; Reiter, D. - J. Comput. Phys.; (United States)

A multicode consisting essentially of three modules, the ''first wall module, the ''neutral gas module and the ''plasma module, is applied to compute the time evolution of the protium, deuterium and tritium densities within the wall of a fusion reactor. The first wall module describes the protium,, deuterium and tritium diffusion implantation and trapping within and the recombination processes at the wall. The neutral gas module resorting to Monte-Carlo techniques computes the atomic and molecular flux densities hitting the wall. The plasma module calculates the parameters of the plasma background on the basis of the familiar transport equations. In themore »« less
